ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – New Mexico ranks amongst the top six states in the country for repeat maltreatment, and a recent report shows that number rose by nearly 15 percent. “Not only are we not improving, we are getting worse in some of those situations,” Maralyn Beck, the founder and executive director of New Mexico Child First Network, said. “Just last month, and it was brought up again this morning, that our repeat maltreatment rates for children in the State of New Mexico have worsened.”
